Formula One drivers could face suspension or lose all their points for driving in an unsportsmanlike manner, race director Michael Masi has warned ahead of Sunday's title-deciding battle at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, 36, and his 24-year-old Red Bull rival Max Verstappen head into the floodlit finale at the Yas Marina track level on points but Verstappen ahead 9-8 on wins, which would make him champion if both drivers fail to score.

However, outlining the articles of the sport's International Sporting Code relating to “unsportsmanlike” conduct and the penalties for such behaviour, Masi sent a clear warning that such a scenario could result in severe consequences. He singled out Article 12.2.1 which deals with “any infringement of the principles of fairness in competition, behaviour in an unsportsmanlike manner or attempt to influence the result of a competition in a way that is contrary to sporting ethics.”
